As we close out Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, we hope you can check out this video, detailing the history of a groundbreaking New York nonprofit, Asian Americans for Equality (AAFE): https://www.aafe.org/who-we-are/our-history. AAFE started as an activist group calling for construction jobs for Asian American New Yorkers in the face of discrimination. In the 1980s, AAFE became one of the first nonprofit organizations to use Low Income Housing Tax Credits to create affordable housing while revitalizing the Chinatown community. AAFE continues to provide vitally important housing, community development and services in New York City.
